My next door neighbour's teen son, Joel, returned from a water polo tournament.

To celebrate his return and team's victory, I prepared a delightful meal consisting of salmon en papillote with herbed couscous and mango sorbet for dessert. The meal was exquisite, as was the company. With "En Saga, Op. 9" by Sibelius playing in the background, Joel entertained me with stories from the tournament and I was proud to learn that he had been selected the tournament's most valuable player.

After dinner, we retired to my home theatre room and with Mitzi snuggled between us we watched "Un chant d'amour." It's a short film which we thoroughly enjoyed, and I highly recommend it for those of you who haven't seen it.

The film was followed up by a game of backgammon and discussion of my upcoming academic conference in New York. I'm thrilled that Joel will be coming with me, so much of our conversation related to planning an exciting and interesting itinerary. Joel, being only 18, wants to see "Hamilton," and to attend a performance at the Met. Although I am 57, I'm certain that I will find a hip-hop musical as entertaining as young Joel, though I admit that the prospect of experiencing a performance by one of the world's most renowned opera companies is more exciting to me. I'm hoping to work both in to help make Joel's experience in New York as memorable as possible.

Our evening ended with Joel leaning in, embracing me, and giving me a soft kiss on the lips. It lasted for only a moment, but was the most beautiful kiss I have ever experienced.

A word of advice? Keep meticulous records of consents and permissions. It would be wise to have Joel’s parents formally ask you to serve “in loco parentis” so that there is no question that you have the authority to serve alcohol when Joel is under your supervision. One tends to keep the age of consent for loving in mind (way back in one’s mind to be sure) while losing sight of the absurdly high drinking age.

Best wishes to you, Joel and Mitzi.
